    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Mets left fielder Moises Alou likely will miss the rest of the year because of a torn left hamstring, a setback that could mean the end of his 17-season career.

    Trying to rehab a lingering strained left calf, the oft-injured Alou left Wednesday's game for Double-A Binghamton because of cramping in his hamstring. Doctors in New York discovered the tear Thursday.

    "He's going to be out for a very long time," Mets general manager Omar Minaya said after a 7-3 win over San Francisco.

    Minaya said surgery was the recommended remedy, but added the 42-year-old Alou would make the final decision.

    Alou missed the first month of this season after hernia surgery. He has played just one game in the majors since May 22 because of the calf problem.</div>

    In all of his comments recently, Omar had been talking along the lines of Alou being back soon and counting on him in the second half. So much for that.

    Do you think they'll try and keep going with what they have now that they know he won't be back, or will they go out and try and make a move?
